The emergence of financial technology companies (FinTech) –companies whose line of business combines software and technology to deliver financial services – will reshape and improve finance by cutting costs and expanding access to financial services. From payments to wealth management, from marketplace lending to equity crowdfunding, a new generation of startups is emerging within the FinTech sector,with firms attracting $19 billion in investment in 2015. Over $4.7 trillion of revenue at traditional financial services companies is at risk of disruption by the new FinTech entrants!

The FinTech industry in the United States leads the world in both financial innovation and accounts for more than half of all global FinTech venture capital investments from 2010-2014.
